Abbreviations & Notes

Before we begin, here’s a quick guide to the abbreviations and special notes:

Abbreviations:

• ch = chain
• sl st = slip stitch
• dc = double crochet
• dc2tog = double crochet 2 together (decrease)
• RS = right side
• WS = wrong side
• sp = space

Notes:

The triangles will slightly cup or indent during joining—this is intentional for a 3D effect

Keep your working yarn on the wrong side (WS) when joining to create a flat seam.

Crochet Pattern Instructions

Step 1: Make the Triangle Motifs (54 Total)

You’ll need:

• 18 triangles in MC
• 12 triangles in Contrast A
• 12 triangles in Contrast B
• 12 triangles in Contrast C

Triangle Motif Instructions:

1. Foundation: Chain 7.
2. Row 1 (RS): Work [(5 dc, ch 3) twice, 4 dc] all in the 7th chain from the hook. Join with a sl st to the 4th chain of the starting chain. You’ll have 15 dc and 3 ch-3 spaces.
3. Row 2: Sl st into the first ch-3 sp, ch 6 (counts as 1 dc + ch 3), work 2 dc in the same sp. Skip the next dc, work 1 dc in the space between stitches. Repeat across, working (2 dc, ch 3, 2 dc) in each corner ch-3 sp. Join with a sl st to the 3rd chain of the starting ch-6.
4. Rows 3–5: Repeat Row 2 three more times. Fasten off after Row 5

Step 2: Join the Triangles

1. Flat Slip Stitch Join: With the right side (RS) facing, use MC to slip stitch the triangles together through the back loops only. Join them into 6 vertical strips (9 triangles per strip), then join the strips side by side.
2. Finishing Side Seams: Work slip stitches up the side edges through the back loops to mimic the flat join seam.

Step 3: Add the Edging

1. Top/Bottom Edging:
   • Join Contrast C (Version 1) or B (Version 2) to the top edge.
   • Work dc2tog decreases and dc stitches evenly across, following the pattern for 8 rows.
2. Final Edging: Work a round of dc stitches around the entire blanket, adding ch-3 corners for a polished finish.

Step 4: Fringe (Optional but Fun)

1. Twisted Fringe: Cut 10-inch strands of Contrast C (Version 1) or B (Version 2). Twist each strand 24 times, then attach to the top and bottom edges with slip stitches.

Helpful Tips for Beginners

• Tension Matters: Keep your stitches loose for a drapey throw.
• Count Your Stitches: Mark the first stitch of each row to avoid losing track.
• Blocking: Lightly steam or wet-block your triangles before joining for even edges.
